HOUSTON — Having clinched a playoff berth on Friday, the Rays head into the final days of the regular season with a few things still to play for.
Most prominent is their seeding among the three American League wild-card teams, which will determine who and where they play when the best-of-three, one-site wild-card series opens this Friday.
Getting beat 2-1 by the AL-best Astros on Saturday didn’t help their chances to get home, as they fell to 86-72 and three games behind the frontrunning Blue Jays (89-69) with four games left.
